Template talk:Cleanup press release

Rewording

I have reworded the template a bit because it could have been interpreted as recommending that the article be marked for speedy deletion, when in reality it simply allows for that possibility. For an example where the former template wording caused some confustion, see Talk:David Horrobin. --Ed (Edgar181) 21:06, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Inappropriate image

Disagree with use of newspaper for image. Newspapers provide firm journalism, not advertising, so the image is inappropriate. I am changing it to the letters "PR" when I figure out how to code as such. Guroadrunner (talk) 21:26, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Good point. (And I work for a newspaper!) Got an idea for a better graphic? - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 23:02, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I write for newspapers too. I made a textual image for use on this template. Guroadrunner (talk) 05:40, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

I made a new image to replace PR, hope you guys like it! -- penubag  (talk) 05:01, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Looks good as it's not a picture of a newspaper (my only qualm) ! Guroadrunner (talk) 07:13, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Should there be guidelines for when editor disagrees with a tagging?

WP:NPOV walks users how to resolve a disagreement about whether a tag should exist, should there be instructions for this template as well? Can the tag addition be reverted per WP:CONSENSUS, or does it remain until attempts to resolve the issue are made per WP:NPOV, or somewhere in-between? Currently there's an admin edit [1] on a new nonprofit that I'm treating as a WP:NPOV complaint, so I'm currently leaving the tag there until there's time to discuss on the talk page.

Needs A Removal Notice

I think this template needs a removal notice. Can you please add one? 86.29.64.45 (talk) 08:05, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Template:Cleanup-PR → Template:Press release – Clarity. "PR" much more commonly refers to public relations – in fact, I'm not sure it's ever used for press release. Additionally, templates starting with "Cleanup" generally refer to the thing that needs cleaning up or the type of article, e.g. {{Cleanup images}}, {{Cleanup school}}. The proposed name is more similar to other clean-up templates that are named after the problem, such as {{POV}} and {{Travel guide}}. This template was previous called Template:News release. Moving it will not break anything. I can't move it myself as the target already exists as a redirect to it.

• Support proposed title gives a clearer indication regarding what the trmplate it about.--70.24.249.205 (talk) 23:33, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

Oppose as proposed. This creates unnesssary ambiguity with {{Cite press release}}. Proposed title should be a template disambiguation page. Gonnym (talk) 07:02, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

Support alt proposal. Gonnym (talk) 14:33, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Please make sure Template:Press release section is also moved to match the new title. Gonnym (talk) 15:40, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Alternate proposal: {{Cleanup press release}} to be in line with the other cleanup templates, while disambiguating with {{Cite press release}}. – robertsky (talk) 08:14, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

Support new proposal since I am fine with anything that includes the term press release and this new proposal will deal with any potential confusion with the citation trmplate.--70.24.249.205 (talk) 14:47, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

I don't agree that it would be ambiguous as all cite templates begin with Cite and there are plenty of cite templates that share part of their name with another template, but that proposal is better than the current name. MClay1 (talk) 12:03, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

• Support move to {{Cleanup press release}} as per Robertsky. 〜Festucalex • talk • contribs 16:51, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
